This document supplements the statement by giving the names and/or job titles of all those persons to whom pre-release access has been granted to the National Forest Inventory statistics for England and aligned areas. The report covers 2 forms of pre-release access:

- Part 1 provides a list of those receiving pre-release access to the Official Statistics in their final form for briefing purposes. As this is a release covering England, the pre-release access period is **limited to 24 hours**.

- Part 2 provides a list of those receiving pre-release access for quality assurance purposes.

The justification for giving advance access to each listed recipient will be available on request.
